Learning More About Your Website

Websites can be complicated. We visit many sites but don’t consider all that goes into them. The truth is, a lot is going on behind the scenes. Although not every business owner will have to master this concept, it’s still helpful to understand what goes on. Taking time to learn about the function of websites will help you leverage yourself in the digital space.

If you plan to create a website or hire someone to do so, it’s important to understand the process to make the best decisions for your business. The first steps include buying a domain and choosing a web hosting platform. Once you decide on these, you can move forward with more details of web creation.

However, if you’re here and own a business, you probably already have a website. Whether you, an employee, a team, or a company manage it, understanding what happens is super helpful. Too often, entrepreneurs enter this without fully preparing for all that goes into a website. Like everything else in your business, your website requires your attention.

It is essential to check and see if any issues arise with your site. These can include grammar, formatting, design, and technical errors. Staying on top of these problems is vital to prevent people from not correctly accessing your site.

Explore the back end of your website and familiarize yourself with the settings. Do you have an SSL certificate? How does your robot.txt file look? Do you need to insert any custom code? Do you have a favicon? How does your website look on a WhoIs search? WhoIs is where you can find information about websites, such as the register’s name, referral URL, date it was registered updated, and when it expires. This is all good information to stay mindful of. If you’d like to learn how to get more familiar with your site, please contact bayrockdigitalmarketing@gmail.com to learn more about our SEO audits!
